    Security Breach does a great job of continuing the FNAF legacy while also paying homage to the previous nine FNAF games. You can tell that the developers really put everything they could into this game. There are even some fun mini-games including a very good mini golf game. However, this game is not without its flaws. The game has already received one patch and more are on the way. I’m hopeful more patches will come to reduce the number of glitches – and maybe even tone some overly challenging sections down and add a few more much-needed checkpoints. The visuals are outstanding and the audio is brilliant. This is easily the best FNAF game and hopefully, the direction they choose to make future FNAF games.

    Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is not a game that revolutionizes survival horror. By taking up the codes of the genre without particularly original ideas, the title is intended above all for fans of the franchise who wish to learn more and more about this horrific universe filled with animatronics and secrets. Unfortunately, the many bugs, the technical issues, the lack of finish and the rather too visible tricks used by the developers to scare people make the experience difficult for others. It is nonetheless a classic horror game with some interesting sequences that will be able to please survival-horror lovers who lack titles to be consumed.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Where to start?

    Well first off, I'd certainly recommend maybe sticking to actual critic reviews for most games in the FNAF Franchise. As this fandom is notorious for its loyalty to Scott and the Games. This can be seen by reviews which gives "10s!" to the game but nothing in this game suggests so. I mean this fandom gave FNAF world overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam. A RPG so shallow and derived from anything good that Scott himself on 2 occasions has admitted to it being so. Yeah, but the FNAF Fandom didn't care, it's got scary bear on it so 10/10.

    Now I am a fan of the games, big part of my childhood. And Steelwools last game was good, even, great! But this one has no identity, no uniqueness and it's incredibly rushed.

    Firstly the gameplay. It has no identity. It has nothing that tells me "This is a FNAF game!" in the gameplay. It's any old cookie cutter horror game but with a coat of FNAF paint. Literally you could replace these characters, and the FNAF branding and nothing would suggest this is even FNAF. Most of the gameplay is run away from robot whilst grabbing something. Nothing unique. In terms if uniqueness, barely any of the robots are unique. For 90 percent of the game, they are the same robots except they are just different models. Only until you take parts do any of them have uniqueness about them however only Roxane the Wolf really has some as she's "blind". You might say, the cameras! Or the... Map? The cameras are so useless I never found myself using them. Mostly due to how big the place is that tracking these monsters would be irrelevant anyway. The cameras could be removed for 99 percent of the game it would be just the same. I saw this with YouTuber Dawko aswell as mine. So the cameras have barely any use to the flow of the game due to the scale of the map itself. Then you have a awful map which Dawko himself commented on being not that good either. Note: Dawko seems to like the game just using something's he didn't use that much or like.

    So the gameplay for the most part is shallow. Only the Weeping Endo part had me on edge and had me scared, but this experience was available with the Gmod FNAF Pack so it isn't ground breaking.

    Speaking on the scare factor it wasnt scary either. Seeing these robots move around removes any of the fear factor, you know they are just incredibly high tech robots that can run, any supernatural atmosphere is removed from the previous games. So instead of having the uncanny valley feel with the creepy old animatronics you are running from robots as at this point they don't resemble animatronics.

    Speaking on the designs, there isn't any creepy factor to them. They look too cute. The Toys in FNAF 2 atleast had a creepy look to them. Freddy's black out eyes and creepy dead stare, Bonnie's dead eyes peering right into the camera and atleast Scott recognized Toy Chica wasn't scary so removed her beak. Now they are just cute looking robots....

    Honestly, it's just very disappointing.

    Now to some of the major story beats:

    First of all Vanny. Vanny is hyped up as the new Afton, new Villian but she BARELY appears in game. She has barely any on screen development, barely any cool moments. She is just barely in it. And it's strange as she was a key focus on marketing. Then the game ruins the end of FNAF 6. Afton didn't die and Ennard didn't either...they survived? In cryo pods? So the FNAF 6 ending which was perfect to tie loose ends is now ruined, odd choice. I mean the cutscene was cool but in terms of logic it has 0. And the Animatronics also are down here? Spares? Well no they are also withered? So there is 0 explanation.

    So the story is poor, the true ending is rushed and the games mechanics are bland and not unique which is a insult to why FNAF was popular. FNAF was popular because it was against the norm, it was unique for it's time back in 2014 but now, this game Secruity Breach? Back tracks on that. It's a standard horror game with barely a thread of uniqueness. Now let's talk about Graphics. Amazing! Yeah something positive. The Pizza Plex has no much love and detail planted into it. I'll give the game that. The graphics and design for such a small team is sublime. So props for that.

    Overall seeing FNAF fans they will eat up especially ones who just watch it, they don't care about the quality and just want more FNAF so yeah. But if you are a horror fan or a FNAF fan who cares about quality pass on this. Or get it on sale. It's like a 4/10. Maybe 3/10. Eh.    … Full Review »

    As a game developer I rarely write about games... but felt I had to.

Overall it was fun, but I have no idea how it passed certification as it is the buggiest game I've ever played.

    Graphical issues all over the place, poor performance in every mode, a ton of UI/prompt bugs, terrible menu system, VO bugs, awful lodding/pop, easily repeatable softlocks and an ending (the good one) you can't get on consoles yet as they didn't implement console controls into the mini games. It needed more time in the oven... pun intended.

    I would say it's a good buy, but only once the bugs are rectified.    … Full Review »
